Pressure drop diagrams The total Pressure Drop (Dp) value is obtained by adding the Dp values of filter housing and filter element at the given flow rate. This ideally should not exceed 0,5 bar (7,3 psi) and should never exceed 1/3 of the set value of the by-pass valve. THE FILTER HOUSING Housing FCR-7-11/12/13/14 The Pressure Drop through the filter housing is governed by the port, not the bowl length and the oil viscosity. THE CLEAN FILTER ELEMENT The Pressure Drop through the filter element is related both to the internal diameter of the filter element and to the filter media; this value is affected by the oil viscosity in a roughly proportional way: e.g. when the Dp value from the curve is 0,2 bar and a 46 cst oil is used, the corresponding value is 0,31 (=0,2 x 46/30) bar.

Pressure drop diagrams THE BY-PASS VALVE The by-pass valve is a safety device to prevent element collapse in case of differential pressure peaks due to flow peaks, cold start conditions or when the clogged element is not replaced in a timely manner. 3.6 3.0 2.4 By-pass FCR-7-11/12/13/14 12 24 35 46 58 70 45 36 1.8 27 1.2 18 0.6 9 40 80 120 160 200 240 280 0 By-pass FCR-7-20/21/22 By-pass FCR-7-30/31/32/33 3.6 35 70 105 140 3.6 72 144 216 288 360 3.0 45 3.0 45 2.4 36 2.4 36 1.8 27 1.8 27 1.2 18 1.2 18 0.6 9 0.6 9 0 80 160 240 320 400 480 560 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 The above diagrams have been obtained at the FILTREC laboratory, according to the ISO 3968 specification, with mineral oil having 30 cst viscosity and 0,86 Kg/dm3 density. In case of discrepancy, please check contamination level, viscosity and features of the oil in use and the sampling points of the differential pressure. 8
Clogging indicator The Pressure Drop (Dp) through the filter increases during the system operation due to the contaminant retained by the filter element. The filter element must be replaced when the indicator shows and before the Dp reaches the by-pass value setting. N.B. in cold start conditions a false alarm can be caused by higher oil viscosity due to low temperature; the indicator alarm must be considered at normal working temperature only. The clogging indicator registers the pressure upstream the filter element: in the VISUAL indicator the red area shows the need for element replacement. in the ELECTRIC indicator an electrical switch is activated.

User Tips IN COVER IDENTIFICATION LABEL INDICATOR PORT FILTER HEAD SEAL DIFFUSOR BOLTS / COVER TIGHTENING TORQUE FCR-7-11/12/13/14 15 Nm FCR-7-20/21/22 5 Nm FCR-7-30/31/32/33 5 Nm FILTER ELEMENT OUT Installation Make sure that the filter flange is well secured on the tank lid through the fixing holes and that the hose is properly connected to the IN port. After mounting verify that no tension is present on the filter. Make sure that enough space is available for filter element replacement and that the clogging indicator is in a easily viewable position. If an electrical indicator is used, make sure that it is properly wired. We recommend the stocking of a spare FILTREC filter element for timely replacement when required. Operation Make sure that the filter works within the conditions of pressure, temperature and fluid compatibility given in the first page of this data sheet. The filter element must be replaced as soon as the clogging indicator signals at working temperature (in cold start conditions, oil temperature lower than 30 C, a false alarm can be given due to oil viscosity). If no clogging indicator is mounted, make sure that the cartridge is replaced according to the system manufacturer s recommendations. Maintenance Before removing the top cover, ensure that the system is switched off and there is no residual pressure in the filter. Remove the top cover by unscrewing the fixing bolts. Remove the spring first and extract the insert assembly (warning : a certain quantity of oil can be retained within the filter element, provide to have a proper container available for it); unscrew the nut at the bottom of the insert and slip the dirty filter element carefully. Clean the tie rod (and the magnets if present) and check the support gaskets conditions, replace them if necessary. Fit a new FILTREC element ( verify first the part number, particularly concerning the micron rating; open the plastic protection of the element from the the top and fit the element over the tie rod, then remove completely the plastic protection) and block it by tightening the bottom nut. Put the insert assembly into the head, put the spring in its position over the insert support, then mount the top cover and tighten properly the fixing bolts. N.B. The used filter elements cannot be cleaned and re-used. PED Compliance FCR-7 filters conform to PED 97/23/CE norm, article 3 section 3, and so they can be used with fluids of group 2 ( liquids with steam pressure < 0,5 bar at the maximum allowable temperature, article 3, section 1.1(b) sub-section II). WARNING Make sure that Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is worn during installation and maintenance operation. Disposal of filter elements The used filter elements and the filter parts dirty of oil are classified as Dangerous waste material : they must be disposed according to the local laws by authorized Companies. 10
